James Rollins' books push the boundaries of the believable -- and I love them! This book, however, was so unbelievable that it bordered on being ridiculous. Nor did I like the romantic relationships that developed simultaneously between the uncle and his former college sweetheart and between the nephew and his fellow researcher. One romantic relationship would have been enough. Two seemed cheesy.

Enjoyable fast paced read. Again contains a story line that you need the ability to suspend your need for reality. I found it fun and intertaining, certainly a page turner. He does imploy the style of story telling that follows 1st one set of characters and just when they are in jeopardy skips to another set of charaters. I'll be reading more of his books, they are a great "bus" read (I commute to work).

You like archeological digs and ancient history? How about a novel that brings in both of those, then tosses in a chase and a search for buried (well something). Very readable. Good story. A page turner

I started with one book of James rollins and in the term of this summer I have read them all. Great adventures and you can hardly put them down. Read the blurps about them and enjoy a wild adventure or 2 or 3 or 4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really liked this book! There may be some aspects I think are a little far fetched, but overall, it's a great read!

Another edge of your seat book. I loved this book. James Rollins knows how to write them.

we love all his books! we have read all of his so far. we(10) at my work could NOT put him down, and would hound the others for them to hurry up and finish!!

Henry, the brilliant archaeologist has discovered a possable excavation site for an Incan village. While back in the states to have a mummy evaluated his nephew Sam and his other students continue on the dig site.
Meanwhile a little know sect of the Catholic Church is murdering there way to the same site and is ready to wipe out Sam and the other students for reasons of their own !
Inside the cave are secrets both miraculous and terrifying !
This book is a Real Page Turner from page one. It is sort of a combination of Indiana Jones and the TV show Fringe . I loved it !

What can I say I believe I have found one of my new favorite Authors. I am always in for an action pack adventure story but James Rollins always seems to add in a twist of super natural plots as well. Left me on the edge of my seat and is most definitely a must read.

This was a great read.

hidden from human eyes for thousands of years-enjoyed

VERRY GOOD.

Fun and fantastical novel set in ancient Mayan ruins.

The South American jungle guards many secrets...
and a remarkable site nestled between two towering Andean peaks, hidden from human eyes for thousands of years.

Dig deeper...
through layers of rock and mystery, through centuries of dark, forgotten legend.

Into ancient catacombs...
where ingenious traps have been laid to ensnare the careless and unsuspecting; where earth-shattering discoveries-and wealth beyond imagining-could be the reward for those with the courage to face the terrible unknown.

Something is waiting...
here where the perilous journey ends, in the cold, shrouded heart of a breathtaking nectopolis; something created by Man, yet not humanly possible. Something wondrous. Something terrifying.

Rollins is always an excellent read. This book is very enjoyable.

Hard to put down. Full of twists and turns.

I was very pleasantly surprised by this book. It was one of the best books I read last year!

Great adventure story.
